Abstract

The invention relates to a multifunctional module (1) which produces lateral action for projectiles, active bodies and warheads for fighting massive, structured and planar targets. The module essentially consists of any configurable, dynamically adequate dimensionally stable front and rear surfaces/contours (1A, 1C) and their attachment (1B). The contours (1A, 1C) consist of external (A) and internal active surfaces (B). According to a desired distribution of the lateral components in the splinter body surfaces adjoining the module the contours of the module can be formed for example convex, concave, in a circular arc or conical. The multifunctional module (1) is arranged between a ballistic head, a pre-core or a pre-module (2) to be expedited laterally and a rear projectile body (3). By means of the braking forces during striking or penetration and/or by means of the forces exerted by the inertia effect of the rear projectile body (3) on the module (1) the latter produces, thanks to its design, radial speed components for splinter-forming casings, fragmentable or expandable layers and casings with inserted or overlayed active bodies. In combination with a multifunctional module (1) a central penetrator (9) can be arranged in the projectile or active body. The module also extends the operational range of projectiles or active bodies with PELE and ALP effects.

Description

STOREY, BODY OR GUARDIAN HEAD FOR COMBATING MASSIVE, STRUCTURED AND SURFACE TARGETS

The present invention relates to a bullet, active body or warhead for controlling massive, structured and planar targets.

With regard to their end-ballistic effect, inert balancing projectiles can be subdivided into two groups: projectiles with the highest possible penetrating power or depth effect and projectiles with areas / splintering effects. The first group includes the classic AP, APDS and APFSDS projectiles. The second group mainly includes splinter-forming or active-body-projecting projectiles. For this group, penetrators can also be calculated, which decompose on target contact. These include the so-called Frangible bullets, which fragment by the Impaktstoß. Also included in this group are PELE (Penetrator with Increased Lateral Action) penetrators, which achieve high lateral efficiency through the dynamic build up of internal pressure. While brittle penetrators disassemble according to the material properties after initiation of their decomposition, ie no lateral component is obtained via a corresponding projectile structure, penetrators according to the PELE principle impart radial velocity components to the splitter-forming parts. At the same time, a number of parameters can influence the decomposition behavior.

Projectiles with a mechanically induced decomposition are already known. The following six patents are cited and commented on as representative examples.

In WO 92/1 5836 A, a pre-core of heavy metal is screwed into a bullet casing of heavy metal serving for the tank breakthrough. By a bias voltage is applied via the transfer piston to an enclosed volume, which may be filled with different materials such as metal powder or explosive, a static pressure. This should be the impact the surrounding shell are disassembled. The functioning of this projectile is based on the mechanical properties of the projectile casing under an internal pressure.

Comparable arrangements contain fire or explosive charges, which act upon impact on a massive tip with pressure and thus ignited (see, for example, DE 32 40 310 A1).

EP 0 146 745 A1 describes a submerged multipurpose bullet made of heavy metal with a cylindrical bore which is filled with an inert (possibly incompressible, easily deformable) or pyrotechnic substance. When hitting a target to be ensured via a complex mechanical device that a guided through the bore cylinder different inner surface design is accelerated in the direction of the filling material and thereby generates a pressure in this, which leads to the decomposition of the outer shell. Due to its structure and the materials to be used, this bullet can only have a limited function, which also depends on the type of target. The pressure introduction to the piston is complex. For more massive targets, the tip including the piston part is destroyed, so that the bullet can then possibly still have a (correspondingly limited) PELE function. It is questionable whether with thin targets or larger angles of attack the required axial acceleration of the piston can be achieved.

Furthermore, projectiles are known which expand or disassemble a funnel-shaped, tubular projectile body made of hard metal over a plastically deformable tip in the target passage (see, for example, the German Reich Patent No. 52364 from 1889).

DE 28 39 372 A1 describes projectiles with delayed on impact conical elements that give a ring of sub-floors a lateral component. Behind the cone, which is delayed during the finish, there is a layer of a compressible, damping material, so that it can be delayed. As a result, correspondingly shaped sub-floors slide off and get while a lateral component. Behind this functional layer is a central support cylinder, which is surrounded by the ring of sub-floors. Such arrangements are subject to a number of material specific and design constraints. It is a complex, with sufficiently thick targets safely functioning, mechanical arrangement. The effect of a module according to the invention is achieved only partially in such bullet structures. Multiple functions are not provided and not the use of different active elements. The dismantling of a splinter shell or brittle projectile components, the use as a technically independent module especially in combination with central penetrators and the simultaneous generation of a pressure field for lateral acceleration is also not provided.

Projectiles with increased lateral effect due to the so-called PELE effect disclosed in DE 197 O 349 C2. An end ballistic effective envelope encloses a largely ineffective substance. Both components form an end face, which is located behind an outer ballistic hood. When penetrating a target, the remaining interior material creates a pressure field that expands or laterally accelerates the surrounding shell. Due to their functionality, such penetrators can be described as "reacting" penetrators, which also distinguishes them more clearly against purely mechanical, splinter-forming ammunition or active bodies.

Previously known, reactive projectiles are sensitive to targets set, since the end ballistisch effective envelope is accelerated by the target surface in the direction of the Penetratorachse and thus at least the front part of the penetrator is deflected from the target area (rikoschettiert). Furthermore, an internal pressure is built up only when penetrating or penetrating. Although the PELE effect occurs in a wide speed range; however, a function is not ensured for a number of projectile designs and for material-specific limit values that are below the limits. This applies depending on the material combination for impact speeds below about 500 m / s. Other well-known, mechanically-acting solutions are based on the improvement of the Panzerdurchschlags with Vorkernen or preliminary, which generate additional technical effects on other lateral effects. Such devices based on plastic deformations upstream Geschosselemente facilities do not affect the present invention in the core. Irrespective of this, however, premodules can also be used in arrangements according to the invention. These then fulfill separate end ballistic tasks. The function of the multifunction module will not be affected.

According to the state of the art, projectiles according to the PELE principle represent the most effective ammunition with lateral action, which also has a wide range of design options. Based on this level of performance, the present invention describes a module that achieves a previously unattained combination of end ballistic surface and depth performance with simple technical measures in projectiles and active bodies. In this case, this module can be effective alone in conjunction with the projectile body or it can significantly improve the effectiveness of already known, laterally effective penetrators. This applies to both the lateral effect and the impact velocities at which a reliable triggering is achieved.

The aim of the present invention is to provide an independent device for generating lateral effects / splinter effects in connection with end ballistic powerful penetrators for projectiles, active bodies and warheads. The module is intended to achieve the technically achievable, mechanically induced lateral accelerations of end ballistic active parts of different shapes. The generation of lateral components should exceed the known designs of comparable concepts for individual types of ammunition. The device should be universally applicable and not bound to specific types of ammunition or ammunition-specific interpretations.

This object is achieved by a projectile, active body or warhead with the features of claim 1. Advantageous embodiments and modifications of the invention are the subject of the dependent claims. The projectile, active body or warhead contains a lateral effects triggering, one- or multi-part, solid or sleeve-shaped, inert multifunctional module, which is suitable for controlling massive, structured and planar targets by end ballistic active elements (splinters, projectile fragments, active body) is. Basically, the module consists of arbitrarily shaped, dynamically sufficiently dimensionally stable front and rear surfaces / contours and their connection. The contours consist of outer and inner active surfaces. The module is arranged between the projectile nose (outer ballistic hood) or an upstream module or projectile part and the correspondingly designed, fragment-forming part of the projectile. The projectile body adjoining the module consists of one or more laterally accelerated (homogeneous, tubular or structured, brittle or ductile) casings or layers. About the deceleration forces during impact and / or on the generated by the inertia effect of the rear projectile body forces on the module, the multifunction module generates by virtue of its design splinter-forming sheaths, inner layers or fragments of active body radial velocity components. In combination with a multifunction module, a central penetrator can be arranged in the projectile or active body.

The above and other objects, features and advantages of the present invention will become more apparent from the following description of preferred embodiments with reference to the accompanying drawings. Show:

The central task of the multifunction module is either to widen or fragment one-sided or two-sided homogeneous or structured bodies and to radially accelerate them. It has for a pure pressure transmission preferably a low density, a high hardness or a sufficient dimensional stability and possibly also a selectable sound propagation speed (propagation speed of the shock waves). These properties are relatively to be seen in connection with the components involved. For example, it may be sufficient to use a hard plastic module in a light metal body, which applies the desired lateral forces without a PELE effect occurring. Likewise, arrangements of different light metals or other metal combinations or mixtures of different plastics or fibrous reinforced bodies conceivable. Examples of such materials are hard plastics, ceramics or vitreous substances, CFRP compounds, light and hard metals. This material listing can be expanded as desired. So are all end ballistic particularly effective materials to use such as high-hardness steel, tungsten carbide, tungsten or tungsten alloys and similar materials. Other criteria for the selection of materials or material pairings are, for example, the acoustic impedance and the sliding properties. It is also possible to form pairings of similar substances or substance mixtures which fulfill the required criteria for multifunctional modules.

The multifunctional modules may be homogeneous or composed of several different materials both in the axial and in the radial direction. Between the front and rear surfaces (contours) of a module, a damping layer or a cavity may be incorporated. The effectiveness of a module is not tied to a conical or rotationally symmetric surface structure. The circumference of a multifunctional module must therefore not be circular, but may have any other shape.

The multifunctional module according to the invention will generally be designed as a homogeneous, as simple as possible designed body. For technically more sophisticated solutions, however, it is quite conceivable to put together a module from a ring of submodules. In this way, the module itself is a pre-fragmented fragment body. It is also possible to manufacture the module from such a brittle material that it disintegrates after exerting its acceleration function and thus itself represents a splinter-forming body.

A multifunctional module can both serve for the creation of lateral projectile components and at the same time represent an end-ballistically effective body. Special advantages are with appropriate shaping better attacking salaried employees, solid armor and the penetration of Vorpanzerungen. Furthermore, a multifunction module can perform bullet-specific functions. An example of this is centering and supporting a central penetrator. Thanks to its design possibilities with different effective zones (A, B) or effective layers (1 A, 1 B, 1 C) and the use of different materials, the module has an almost unlimited design range. This ranges from extensions of the functions of known splitter-forming ammunitions by additional introduction of such a module to new single-stage or multi-stage concepts with different demands on the ammunition performance. The module is not bound to individual functional mechanisms, but rather represents an independent element. It is independent of the type of stabilization of caliber-containing or sub-caliber projectiles.

Although multifunctional modules according to the invention basically represent independent active elements, they can be combined in projectiles, active bodies or warheads with devices for utilizing the PELE effect as well as with known arrangements for the mechanical generation of lateral accelerations. As a result, not only the known advantages of both modes of action are linked, but it is also possible to use both functional mechanisms with a previously unrepresentable bandwidth. Thus, a combination lateral floor with multifunction module is possible, which has a simple structure and is functional at all Operational speeds. This applies to cannon-fired ammunition of all calibers as well as otherwise spent bodies or warheads. With respect to the PELE effect, reference is made to the relevant patents (e.g., DE 197 0 349 C2) and numerous publications in which all prescriptions and inferences to be derived therefrom are adopted.

A particular embodiment consists in the combination of a multi-functional module with active floors, eg those with ALP components. In these projectiles, fragments are accelerated axially or radially by a shock generated in a transmission medium via a pyrotechnic component independently of a target contact. Through the use of a multifunction module, active bodies can be increased both in their effectiveness and in terms of their design bandwidth by virtue of the pyrotechnically accelerated elements obtained a lateral component. It is also possible in principle to produce lateral components on projectiles with explosive fillings via a multifunction module.

Even at very low impact velocities (or thin walls) there is a delay and thus function of the module. In the case of a relatively fast impact, the dynamic loading of the fragments forming parts initially takes place via a shock load transmitted through the module by the impact. This is followed in particular by thicker targets or multi-plate arrangements, a pressure build-up either in a rigid body or in a PELE working medium. By upstream body with high speed of sound, so short throughput times for the shock waves (signal transmission), axial forces can be exerted on the downstream module when hitting the target in very short times, so that a lateral acceleration of the splinter shell takes place before it reaches the target surface. Furthermore, multifunctional modules are interchangeable and so easy to adapt to different or changing requirements. Multifunctional modules with their end-ballistic active components can also be arranged as a cascade. A projectile / active body may contain several different multifunctional modules.

Figures 1 to 14 show preferred embodiments and applications. They emphasize the universality of the module according to the invention. In the schematic representations, the hood 2 is only hinted at. Likewise, the projectile or active body part 3 following the module is only shown as far as necessary for demonstrating the mode of operation. All other projectiles or elements such as e.g. the bullet tail or stabilization is symbolized by 5.

The following is a detailed description of preferred embodiments. Thus, Fig. 1 in the upper part of the diagram is a schematic representation of a solid (one or more parts) multifunction module 1 with examples of the design / contour of the front surface 1 A and the rear surface / contour 1 C and their connection 1 B. According to a desired Distribution of lateral components in the splitter body surfaces adjoining the module, the contours may, for example, be convex, concave, circular-arc-shaped or conical. The compound 1 B between 1 A and 1 C can either be homogeneous, contain a cavity or a material for damping. The contours 1 A and 1 C consist of outer (A) and inner active surfaces (B). The lower part of the picture shows a sleeve-shaped (here homogeneous) multifunction module.

Fig. 2 shows two examples of a projectile / active body with multifunction module 1 for the lateral acceleration (splintering with lateral component) of fragmentary projectiles with hollow or filled internal volume. To understand the mode of action arrows are drawn, which symbolize both the introduced forces (arrows with solid lines) as well as the generated directions of movement with lateral components (dashed arrows). If the casings are sufficiently dimensionally stable, they can at least partly be folded out by the action of a multifunctional module (indicated by circular arcs). In the following figures such symbols are only displayed if they appear to be useful for explaining the operation or if it should be pointed to other, not directly derived effects.

The module shown in the upper part consists of an end ballistically effective body for penetrating stronger armor. Furthermore, it has an outer edge for engaging more inclined targets (contour area 1 A in the outer zone A). In the area of the contour 1 C, the module is designed in the form of a double cone, which radially accelerates both the outer shell 4 and the splitter shell 6 of the following projectile body 3 and also compresses the filling medium 7. The fragmentation jacket 6 is formed here in multiple stages. The sheath 4 can also contribute to increasing the lateral effect.

In principle, the projectile parts referred to as fragmentation jacket 6 can be all elements which achieve lateral effects by the action of a multifunctional module. So it may be one-piece or multi-part shells or sleeves (hollow cylinder) of the same or different materials, shell-like elements with longitudinal division, envelope strips, notched sleeves, Act elements with integrated or applied active bodies and also bodies with any surface shapes or surface design. Therefore, all elements with lateral action are designated the same (6).

The different possibilities for filling media are also designated the same (7). For example, this filling medium may possess PELE properties in conjunction with the surrounding shell or may be purely mechanical. Such, an internal pressure constituent parts are shown in the figures primarily cross-hatched. However, these parts can basically also consist of dimensionally stable bodies. As far as the acted upon by a multi-functional module active parts preferably consist of a rigid / brittle and therefore purely mechanically acting medium, a normal hatching is selected. 7 may consist of a homogeneous substance, a mixture of substances or a mixture of substances, a compact or a structure with embedded active elements or form a chamber with a pasty or liquid-like filling. Furthermore, 7 may not have a purely inert, the action of a bullet supporting or complementary property. The spectrum ranges from thermally reacting metals to the use of pyrotechnic elements.

The multifunction module 1 here has a wedge-shaped design, which protrudes in FIG. After hitting or during the target passage, this wedge is accelerated into the medium 7. From the previous explanations, there are three possibilities with regard to the interaction between 1 and 7: In the case of a rigid material for 7, mechanical splitting of the splinter shell 6 takes place. If the component 7 consists of a dynamically softer (more ductile) material, the material properties become greater constructed corresponding pressure field that accelerates laterally the sheath 6 depending on the pressure. Thus, an over the length of differently distributed acceleration of the splitter wall 6 can be achieved. This mode of action is therefore not identical to that of PELE penetrators (see definition of the PELE principle of action). In Fig. 1 1 and 1 2 arrangements are shown in which the multifunction module itself has PELE properties. The third possibility arises from the fact that the medium 7 is compressible. In this case, the rear contour can run from 1 to 7 and generates there only delayed in time or after covering a certain distance sufficient pressure for lateral acceleration of 6. So for the medium 7 there are no restrictions on its compressibility or other material properties, such as they are required or assumed in the previously known devices.

With an axial displacement of 1, a mechanical pressure build-up of 1 in e.g. Such effects are interesting when end-ballistic effects are to be achieved in deeper targets or after strike-through of armor.

In the lower part of Fig. 2, the module includes a cavity, and the follow-up bullet consists of an internally hollow, two-layer splinter shell. The inner layer 6 may extend to the axis, wherein the multifunction module is geometrically adapted accordingly. The multifunction module 1 in conjunction with the sheath 6 may e.g. also be formed such that the rear cone of 1 extends almost over the entire length of 6. The same applies accordingly to other embodiments shown here (see, for example, Figures 6, 7, 9 and 10).

The front contour 1A of the module 1 causes a lateral acceleration of the attached body 1 1. This can be arbitrarily designed and made of different materials, which are to be selected according to the desired effects (see also comment to Fig. 3). This also applies to other illustrated multifunctional modules having a corresponding front contour I A (see, e.g., Figures 2, 5 and 6).

Fig. 3 shows two representations of a projectile / active body with multifunction module 1 for the lateral acceleration of fragmentary projectiles with hollow or filled internal volume and central penetrator 9. In the upper part of the module module on the rear side 1 C is executed doppelkegelig. On the front side 1 A, it is designed stepwise with an inner cone, for example, the attacking a inclined target surface to improve. The following projectile body 3 has a shell 4 and between the fragmentation jacket 6 and the central penetrator 9, a medium I ₁ which is to build an internal pressure in this projectile section in combination with the surrounding jacket 6. Due to the double-conical contour 1 C, the sheath 4 and the splitter-forming sheath 6 receive directly via the outer cone a mechanically effected lateral component. The medium 7 is pressure-loaded due to the shape of the module 1 and the inner supporting / damming central penetrator 9 (here, for example, a hard core with a cone tip), so that it also laterally accelerates the surrounding layers of FIG. In this way, when the projectile encounters an immediate lateral acceleration of the front splinter shell, followed by a continuous expansion of the next projectile body.

The central penetrator 9 exercises for the module 1 a supporting and a centering function. With a delay of 1, or due to the inertia of 9, the penetrator 9 on the module 1 can also achieve an expanding effect. In particular, a sufficiently hard or brittle multifunction module 1, which may also be pre-fragmented or composed of segments, is thereby laterally accelerated by the core tip after fulfilling the functions described above and thus forms a further splinter ring.

In the lower part of Fig. 3, the volume between the central penetrator 9 and the fragmentation sheath 6 is empty. The multifunction module 1 is designed here such that it only centers the body 9, but does not exert any major lateral forces when it enters the target. This avoids that an upstream module 1 deflects the central penetrator 9, in particular in the case of more massive targets, thereby reducing its end ballistic depth performance.

In addition to FIG. 3, FIG. 4 shows two further examples of the embodiment of a multifunctional module 1 in front of a central penetrator 9, wherein in the arrangements shown here, the central penetrator 9 is surrounded directly by a fragmentation jacket 6. The multifunction module 1 takes over the function of a core hood and accelerates due to its delay in the impact on the molding the penetration of the penetrator tip 6 (upper partial image) or the material 7 located in the sleeve 4 (lower partial image).

FIG. 5 shows two further examples of the design of a multifunctional module 1. In the upper part of the picture, the multifunction module 1 is compact and has a spherical contour. The fragmentation jacket 6 of the subsequent projectile body 3 is designed accordingly on the inside. About the inner contour of the splitter shell 6, which may be conical or can represent any trajectory, the force exerted by the module 1 is to regulate. A front splitter component 1 1 is only hinted at here. In the lower part of the diagram, the multifunction module 1 has a rear contour with an outer and an inner cone in front of a splitter shell 6 and a pressurized inner volume 7. In this example, the module 1 acts on only part of the end face of the splitter shell 6. The medium 7 is for example, around a central body, which is not designed like a primarily armor-piercing element, but has other properties. It can e.g. Have splinter-forming properties, constitute a bed of substances or bodies or also have pyrotechnic properties. This also applies to other embodiments with a central element 7 (see, for example, Figures 2, 7, and 1 2).

Fig. 6 shows two examples of the design of a multi-function module 1 with subsequent, mechanically loaded / dismantled conical projectile wall / splinter shell 6. The inner volume 8 may be empty or filled. These designs allow a variable interpretation with regard to splitter distribution and splitter size. Even in such embodiments, the inner cone of the module 1 can extend to about the length of the fragmentation sheath 6. In the lower part of the image, a front splitter component 1 1 is indicated, which is located in front of a lenticular front contour of the module 1.

FIG. 7 shows two examples of a self-supporting (supported) double-acting multifunction module 1. Such a support extends the design options for the subsequent projectile body 3. The front Contour 1 A of the module 1 causes a lateral acceleration of the attached body 1 1.

Fig. 8 shows two further examples of multifunctional modules. In the upper part of the picture, the module 1 is supported on a splinter shell 6 and this on a subsequent further envelope segment 6. By this shaping, the forming fragments of 6 can be folded out. The upper partial image also contains a space 8 between the multifunctional module 1 and the inner medium of the following projectile body. In the rear part of the projectile or active body, e.g. follow a PELE module. In the lower part of the picture, the multifunction module is preceded by a rear conical pronucleus, which already gives it a lateral component. This is followed by a projectile body with a double-layered fragmentation casing 6 and a central penetrator 9. The multifunctional module 1 is based on a further module 1, which in turn is preceded by a central penetrator 9. The module can serve as a protective core hood, especially at high impact speeds. At the same time it can produce another splinter ring. The penetrator 9 can also be replaced by another medium (see commentary on FIG.

9 shows two examples of arrangements with specially designed multifunction modules. In the upper partial image, the lateral effects are achieved by means of two multifunctional modules 1 acting in both directions in conjunction with a splinter shell 6 and a subsequent brittle inner body 7. This inner body can also be designed as a PELE module. In the lower part of the picture, the multifunction module 1 consists of a slim wedge. This can extend far into the hood 2 of the projectile or active body and thereby experience an axial acceleration immediately after the target contact. In the example shown, the wedge 1 expands a two-layer splitter shell, wherein the different layers may consist of different materials or may contain pre-fragmented fragment bodies. Between the wedge 1 and the fragmentation jacket 6, a layer can be introduced, for example, has good sliding properties. Such sliding layers can be provided in principle to mechanical effects to facilitate the gliding. In the examples given, this applies, for example, to FIGS. 7, 8, 9, 10 and 12.

10 shows two examples with multi-layered multifunctional modules in connection with a continuous central penetrator 9. The upper partial image is a construction according to FIG. 1 with the parts 1A, 1B and 1C of the module 1. Between the outer skin 4 and the inner layer 7 there is a fragmentation jacket 6. In the lower partial image, the two multifunctional modules 1 slide against one another and accelerate the front and rear fragment forming elements 4, 6 and 11.

FIG. 11 shows two examples of a multifunction module 12 with PELE function (conical sleeve 13 and working medium 14). The upper part of the picture is an arrangement that is open in the direction of firing. In the lower part of the image, the multifunction module is replaced by a PELE body, which is closed with a cover 15 and radially accelerates the front part of the projectile. The following bullet section is to be designed arbitrarily.

Fig. 1 2 shows two examples with a multifunction module 1 and subsequent multifunction module 1 2 with PELE function according to FIG. In the upper partial image, the module 12 is supported on the back on a second working medium 7, so that the fragmentation jacket 6 or the shell 4 experience different lateral speeds. The projectile body can be composed, for example, of individual splinter-forming rings 6. In the lower part of the diagram, the multifunction module 1 has a lateral function which is effective in both axial directions. The module with PELE function 1 2 is supported here on a rigid body 7. This may be traversed or followed by a PELE module. REFERENCE NUMBER LIST
